If Indian families were to celebrate an annual event together in unison, Bakri Eid would surely be it. Families come together and neighbors drop in, mostly to relish the sumptuous spread of not just biryanis, kababs, kormas, and haleem, but also Sheer Khurma and a lot more.
But Bakra Eid’s joyous aspects don’t overshadow the massive cooking undertaking. That is the reason so many Indian households are choosing smarter modern kitchen appliances for this year’s Bakra Eid. Not to flex, but because they make cooking easier, faster, healthier, and so much more enjoyable!
Let me guide you through the three most revolutionary gadgets that promise to change the Bakra Eid experience. No matter if you’re an enthusiastic home master chef or someone who just prefers cooking for themselves.survive the cooking marathon without losing your mind, you’re going to love these.
1. The Air Fryer: Your Best Friend for Crispy Starters Without the Guilt
Okay, let’s talk about kebabs, cutlets, samosas, pakoras, and everything else that tastes better when it’s deep-fried. On Bakra Eid, we go all out with starters. It’s almost like a ritual. But the oil? It can get too much, especially if you’re cooking for elders or kids.
That’s where the humble but powerful air fryer comes in. It’s honestly one of the smartest investments for a festive Indian kitchen.
Why every Bakra Eid kitchen needs an air fryer:
- It lets you enjoy all your fried favourites using very little oil, sometimes none at all.
- You get that perfect crispness outside and softness inside, just like deep frying.
- It’s super fast. You can cook a batch of kebabs or nuggets in 15 minutes flat.
- It’s easy to clean and doesn’t make your kitchen smell like a fry shop.
And here’s a little tip. Marinate your meat a day before Eid, keep it in the fridge, and just pop it into the air fryer as guests arrive. You’ll have hot, fresh snacks with zero stress.
2. The 4-Door Convertible Refrigerator: Store Like a Pro, Serve Like a Chef
Now let’s talk storage. During Bakra Eid, your fridge goes through a tough time. From raw meat to marinated trays, creamy desserts to leftover gravies, there’s so much to manage. If your fridge is small or not smart enough, things can get messy really fast.
That’s why serious home chefs are switching to Lumiere Series 4-Door Convertible Refrigerators. And no, it’s not just about the size. It’s about how cleverly you can use that space.
Here’s what makes these fridges truly festival-ready:
- Massive 520 to 630 litre capacity. You can store everything from biryani handis to sweet boxes without juggling space.
- 85% convertible fridge space. You can switch the freezer section into a fridge, depending on what you need more of. Super useful when you’re marinating large cuts of meat or storing lots of drinks and desserts.
- Deo Fresh Technology. This is a blessing. No weird smells, even if you have onions, garlic paste, raw meat, and leftover korma sitting together.
- Toughened glass shelves. Trust me, they’re strong enough to hold big utensils and handi pots.
Another underrated benefit? You don’t have to keep opening and closing the same door again and again. With four separate doors, everything is well organised and accessible.
3. The Smart Microwave Oven: More Than Just a Reheater
I used to think microwave ovens were just for heating food. But that changed when I tried cooking in one. Today’s smart microwave ovens are multitasking marvels. They can grill, bake, defrost, ferment, and more. Basically, they’re like your second chef.
During Bakra Eid, when there’s so much cooking happening in parallel, having a microwave that can do some heavy lifting is a game changer.
Why a smart microwave is a must-have:
- You can reheat without drying out the food. Perfect for kebabs and curries.
- Grill function lets you give that smoky touch to your tikkas or even koftas.
- Baking sheer khurma or phirni? It’s quicker and more consistent.
- Making fresh bread or naan? Use the ferment mode.
The best part is that while your stove is busy with biryani and korma, you can use the microwave to reheat starters or cook desserts. It spreads the workload and saves you time.
Bonus: Small Tips That Make a Big Difference
Let me share a few practical hacks I’ve picked up over the years that work brilliantly with these appliances:
- Use the air fryer to reheat fried items. They’ll stay crisp, unlike microwaving them.
- When using the convertible fridge, dedicate one zone for marinated meat and another for desserts. It helps with hygiene and smell control.
- Use the microwave’s auto defrost feature for frozen meat. It’s quicker and safer than doing it at room temperature.
What to Look for When Buying These Gadgets
If you’re thinking of upgrading your kitchen before Eid, here are a few things to keep in mind:
For air fryers:
- Go for at least 5-litre capacity if you’re cooking for a family
- Check for 3D air circulation and wattage (1500W is ideal)
- Digital controls are easier for precision cooking
For refrigerators:
- Convertible space is a must during Eid
- Go for models with deo fresh tech and strong glass shelves
- Look for energy-efficient models, especially if you keep it loaded all week
For microwaves:
- A convection model gives you the most versatility
- Look for multiple preset modes like grill, defrost, and bake
- Make sure the size suits your kitchen counter
